Help needed with DVB subtitles (2 Viewers)

[tourettes]

Fixing live tv is a little bit problematic as it's working fine for me. Maybe someone who has the issue is able to debug the timing code?

btw. are you guys talking about the multiseat live tv or single seat? As single seat is only supported right now.

My setup is singleseat.

Ok. Let's hope that Ziphnor has some time in next month that he could do some debugging with the live tv as he's also from Denmark.

I'm also using singleseat setup. I think that a temporary solution for me is to watch TV in timeshift. Then there are no problems with sync, although sometimes the subtitles disappear too soon.

Ziphnor hopes so too Im averaging around 60-70 hours a week at work lately, but the deadline for what im working on is drawing near, so im hoping to get time to relax with a little MP programming after working with multiple research prototypes in C++

Could anyone explain how to install DVBSub.ax. I use TVEngine3 and Mediaportal single seat. I'm not a developer just an interested user that missing subtitles badly.

Kind regard.

Installing the filter:
1) unzip both .ax files to MP folder.
2) regsrv32 DVBSub_debug.ax (if some debug DLLs is missing from your system then use the DVBSub_release.ax)
3) put following setting in the MediaPortal.xml in MyTv section

<entry name="dvbsubtitles">yes</entry>

Maybe a stupid question but is it possible to try this subtitle option without having the tv-engine installed and only the 0.2.2..0 version of the Mediaportal client installed?

You need TVEngine3. But try the TVEngine, it is good!

My experience with the latest test-version of subtitles is not as good as my experience with version 6, which seems more stable. I haven't had time to extensive testing, I am just giving this as a service information to those trying the subtitle filter.

There are still some deadlock issues left to be solved in the filter Unfortunately those are really nasty to debug.

 

[tourettes]

I have diceded to stop the filter development until someone who has more directshow filter development knowledge manages to help me with those deadlocks. I have already spend all the free time during two weeks with trying to solve those deadlock issues with no success.

If someone want's to have a look I have updated the SVN with latest changes. Some deadlocks are already solved but the deadlocks that are caused by mapping PIDs to the MS demuxer remain still unsolved.

Mainly :

GetDemuxerPin()->QueryInterface()
pMap->MapPID()

calls in CDVBSub::MapPidToDemuxer()


...so now I finaly have some free time to pick up that book I started to read last year.

As I haven't tried this filter that much, I'd like to know in what cases deadlocks appear in normal usage? And which version is most stable - is it the last or 06 as stated by Seidelin?

Hopefully tourettes gets all the help he can!

I use 06 and it works reasonably well. Sometimes the subtitles disappear, and I have to seek back 15 s for the subs to return. I also have experienced some MP hangs, which may be dvbsub related.

If you try the filter please provide logs, if you encounter problems.

I am starting to look into the code (mainly to learn), but since I am a Delphi programmer with zero directx experience, I haven't even figured out which side is up yet.
